PAUL Components Touring Cantilever Brake

No, the Touring Cantilever is specifically designed with a narrow profile to prevent heel strike and interference with panniers, making it an excellent choice for loaded touring setups.

No, these are rim brakes that require specific brazed-on cantilever studs on your frame and fork. They cannot be mounted to frames designed exclusively for disc brakes.

The brake pads feature spherical washers, which allow you to pivot and angle the pad precisely against the rim surface. This ensures full contact and consistent stopping power.

Yes, the sealed pivot mechanism is designed to keep out grit and moisture, ensuring smooth operation and consistent performance even when riding in inclement weather.

The arms are machined from 6061 aluminum with a T-shaped cross-section, which is engineered specifically to minimize flex and maintain solid stopping power, even under the heavy loads common in touring.
